Dropping items

[Kondo Isami]

Just got the game. Tried following several videos on how to drop items, but when I try the exact same thing the item stays in my inventory. I tried dropping wood, rocks, coal, etc. My inventory is full and I can't do anything.

you need to make a chest to store stuff in, 50 wood is enough for a chest. just dropping items on the ground and leaving empty slots in your inventory does not work, because you have a magnetic ability to draw items into your inventory. Thats how you forge and mine in the game.

You have a trash can in your inventory UI (lower right). You can drop stuff you do NOT want in there and they'll be destroyed.

But as QD said, you'll need some chests to store stuff.

Building a chest is usually one of the first things I do in the game.

You CAN discard items from your inventory by dropping them on the ground, but only if there's another item on the ground right next to you. If you do that, then the other item will be sucked into your inventory and will automatically fill the empty spot, rather than the item you just dropped. This only works if your inventory is full, and only works if the item is actually on the ground. And note: A foragable item is NOT "on the ground". It's a spawned item until you pick it up for the first time.
